In Which the Pirate Works On It.

Last night I went to SnB for the first time in six months. It was so good to see everyone again! I’d like to try to get back there more often, if possible. The timing and location aren’t so great for me, but I love being surrounded by two dozen awesome knitters. I got one […]

In Which the Pirate Changes Plans.

I was going to go to the Sit ‘n Knit yesterday, but the person I was supposed to meet couldn’t make it at the last minute. She called when I was on the road, just before the exit I’d take to go home, and I decided to just go there instead. I spent the evening […]

In Which the Pirate Plans to Meet New Friends.

I called the yarn store and verified that they have a Sit ‘n Knit on Thursdays from 17:00 to 19:00. I’m thinking of going there straight from work anyway, which would get me there at around 16:30 - they probably won’t mind if I’m a little early! Must resist buying any new yarn. MUST.
There is […]

In Which the Pirate Returns to Knitting.

It’s not really a return, exactly - I’ve been getting a few rows done here and there. After a weekend of knitting a LOT, my wrists were really bothering me, so I took it easy for a week. Then this past weekend, I was too busy to knit. Now it’s Tuesday, the Baby Surprise Jacket […]

In Which the Pirate Has a Glass of Wine.

I am so glad I went to SnB last night. I’d really missed the companionship and conversation - and I made a new friend who lives near me! My favorite parts of going to a SnB are seeing what projects other people are working on, touching the yarn, looking at the patterns, and sharing tips […]

In Which the Pirate Ravels.

Lately I have been spending more time on Ravelry than actually knitting. This is because I have internet access from work, but I can’t sit at my desk and knit. Yesterday I re-organized my stash by breaking apart an entry that included several colorways of the same yarn, and re-listing them separately by colorway. Today […]

In Which the Pirate Finally Gets Out of the Apartment.

After missing a number of SnB nights, I’m finally getting to go again! I’m hoping that I’ll still get to go after I move up to the house, but it will be a much longer distance to drive. I’m definitely going to try to get there once in a while! I like my fellow knitters […]

In Which the Pirate is Snow-Shy.

I ended up skipping SnB last night because of the weather. After choosing to work from home and spending the day in my pajamas, I couldn’t get motivated to get dressed, scrape off my car, and navigate the icy roads. This morning I knew I’d made the right decision - the parking lot was a […]

In Which the Pirate Gets the Rest of Her Yarn.

It’s here, it’s here! The last piece of my WEBS order is here! There’s only one thing that disappoints me - they charged me full price for this one ball of yarn, even though I ordered them all together and should have gotten the 20% discount. I guess that only applies to yarn that […]

In Which the Pirate Knits Where She Should Have Purled.

The great thing about having SnB at Cosi is that they serve wine. I had a glass of a pretty good Shiraz with my sock knitting last night. Now, I’m not sure if it was the wine or if it was the talking and not paying attention to my knitting, but I came around to […]
